Kanker payudara pada wanita 45 tahun
Satu minggu yang lalu saya mendapat kiriman jaringan tumor yang berasal dari payudara seorang ibu, berusia 45 tahun. Sebelumnya pasien ini telah dibiopsi-operasi dan saya diagnosis Invasive Ductal Carcinoma, Mammae.
Kali ini yang saya terima jaringan payudara berukuran 17x 10x 8 cm yaitu hasil operasi mastektomi radikal. Tampak puting susu dengan posisi yang masih baik, tidak tertarik kearah dalam, dan juga jaringan kulit yang menutupi seluruh payudara masih tampak normal, tidak seperti kulit jeruk (peau d’orange).
Juga dikirim ke laboratorium PA, jaringan bertanda benang yaitu kelompok kelenjar getah bening pada level I, berjumlah 6 buah.
